I searched the threads, maybe used the wrong words... Anyway, I have drums in the rear of my 91 accord wagon and would like to make them disc. I know i have to get a new master cylinder and probably new lines...what else should I think about before I do this? I'm also going to swap out the auto tranny for a manual, but I found the info for that already . And please don't tell me to sell it! New here and really getting a lot of good info from the forums.

 

i don't think you need a new master cylinder.

all the info you need on this site. later.

 

Unless you're racing on a tight road course for money/sponsorship or will need new pads every month, it's a huge PITA and expense for very little gain.

 

It's definetly worth it, disk brakes are the way to go if you're gonna go the customization route.. if for nothing more then their looks. And it's a job you can do yourself.

 

ive seen some cars with the drum painted and it didnt look bad but its definately not good looking as rotors

 

:lmao: I laugh at them.

 

First, the drums are well, drums! And if i'm going to spend a grand or so on wheels, i want the brakes to look right also. So yes, a little looks, but really more about safety. So you all think it can be done without major cost or headache? I will check that link above. I also plan to do ALL the work myself, (with a friend) so thats a consideration. Thanks for the input

 

Thanks for that site! f'ing greatest info i've gotten yet. I might even head out to the local junk yard this weekend and see what i can find!

 

you have to swap out the whole rear trailing arm ,with the E-brake cables and the proprotion valve or the pedal will feel like crap. I did this swap on my 5th gen and was not so lucky because all rear disc on them had ABS so I ended up instaling ABS !

 

i tihnk he means that his lines and MC is going out thus the upgrade may be worth it...later
